Throwback to 2021 when The @pudgypenguins hit the New York Times

It’s important to believe in something.

I think what’s happened to crypto in the last 2 years with the high float, low FDV, rotational + memecoin meta has been hurtful both for the personal psyche and for the community vibe.

Financial nihilism implies the end of belief, it implies the dying stages of an industry, much like looting during riots. A total distraction from belief of “replacing the financial system” or “trustless, permissionless” or “reducing take rates” or “resistance money”. These were the initial reasons a lot of the OGs entered into crypto. Airdrops like Uniswap were actually surprises and not farmed.

The focus on individual prosperity reflected in PnLs, ala vape cabals. You might say it’s product market fit but is it PMF if the market eventually gets exhausted and quits?

Kelsier exposed that most.

So we have to rebuild interesting use cases as a community. And we have to do our best to support things that we can actually believe in.

Personally for onchain, I am mostly on Hyperliquid and interacting with that ecosystem, because I can factor out the risk of getting rekt. There’s a difference you can feel in top tier products (h/t @izebel_eth) given that it takes an insane amount of work to make them.

I’m always looking out for most new games, and participating and supporting new consumer experiences.

On a company level, we’re building @TeleMafia and @PocketMobGame, and working on our new AI game product [REDACTED].

I get to work with smart and passionate people, and learn from mentors who look out for us. It’s still in the early stages, but I’m really happy with where we are, and happy with our growth so far as founders.

Believe in something, it’s good for you.

Even better, build something “insanely great”; work with smart and energetic people, and then your happiness and fulfillment will never be strictly tied to the PnL

In honor of Hype hitting ATHs,
